Square Enix hints at PSN version of Final Fantasy IX

Final Fantasy IX may hit the PlayStation Network soon, according to Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto. After the PSN releases of Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII, it only makes sense for the next title in the series to follow suit.

After talking to fans about the potential downloadable release of FFIX via the Square Enix Members Twitter, Hashimoto wrote the following post last Saturday:

Thanks to everyone for your opinions on FF9. Regarding an FF9 download release, everyone is so passionate about it that I’ll be proposing it at the next board meeting. Look forward to next week!

The ninth installment in the Final Fantasy series, FFIX was originally released for the PlayStation in 2000 and sold more than 5 million units. The franchise as a whole has sold more than 96 million units worldwide since its first game in 1987.
